  1. 26. Design and Qualification of a Gimbal Suspension for Attitude Control System Testing of CubeSats

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Anthony Holmberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Gimbal; CubeSat; ADCS; Suspension; Testbed; Disturbance Torque; Angular Measurement; Gimbal; CubeSat; ADCS; Upphängning; Testbädd; Störmoment; Vinkelmätning;

    Abstract : Since the dawn of the space race, satellites have grown rapidly in complexity and shrunk equally rapidly in size. Most of them contain an Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) on board for pointing and detumbling manoeuvres. READ MORE

  2. 27. FORESAIL-2 AOCS Trade Studies and Design

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Guillaume Le Bonhomme; [2020]
    Keywords : space engineering; CubeSat; ADCS; AOCS; spacecraft subystems; nanosatellite;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to design a reliable CubeSat platform, including the avionic subsystems that can sustain a high radiation environment for a mission having a lifetime of at least six months. The science instruments put stringent requirements on the platform to achieve and maintain the desired spin rate. READ MORE

  3. 28. Methods to operate and evaluate the performance of a cold-gas CubeSat propulsion system on a magnetically stabilised satellite

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Victor Alberto Gonzalez Marin; [2020]
    Keywords : Propulsion system; CubeSat; Performance; Operating procedure; Mission experiment; Framdrivningssystem; CubeSat; Prestanda; Driftsrutin; Driftprov;

    Abstract : Propulsion systems allow satellites to perform many functionalities in space, such as orbital station keeping, reentry control, attitude control, orbital transferring, rendezvous operation, and even more thrilling, interplanetary travel. Indeed, propulsion systems in satellites have fostered a new favourable era of space exploration and application, therefore, detailed processes to operate propulsion systems need to be developed so that space missions, carrying this valuable system, are completed successfully.

  4. 29. Attitude Determination and Control System of a CubeSat in Suborbital Flight

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Joan Jordi Boldu O Farrill Treviño; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Bistable Boom Dynamic Deployment (B2D2) experiment aims to successfully demonstrate the deployment of a 2 meter self-deployable boom in order to offer an efficient alternative for small satellites to conduct higher quality magnetic field measurements. The boom will be placed in a free falling unit, following the CubeSat standard. READ MORE

  5. 30. Feasibility study of the implementation of a space sunshade near the first Lagrangian point

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : María García de Herreros Miciano; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The lack of strong measures to avoid the possible fatal consequences of global warming is pushing researchers to look for other alternatives such as geoengineering.Within geoengineering, this study focuses on the space based solar radiation management methods. READ MORE
